Day Nine - Giving Up

We had yet another round of doctor's visits this morning. The great news is that my sweet daughter probably won't need surgery after all. We went to our third specialist today, and he said the finger will heal nicely on it's own. Unfortunately, the timing of yet another visit was enough to throw me out of whack. They wanted us to come in immediately, and we weren't home until after lunch time.

I really need to figure out and prepare some ready to go snacks. If I had planned ahead, I could have brought a baggie of fresh cut carrots or celery to tide me over. Instead, I ended up eating at Noodles and Co. Yes, I already said goodbye to them. But today, I said hello. I broke almost every eating rule I have today.  I gave up.

The funny thing is that none of the food tasted as good as I remember. And within just a short time, my stomach ached from the poor choices I made. By dinner time, I couldn't wait to have a large salad and get back on track.

On a slightly different topic, I realize this journey had become too much about the weight loss. I lost a ton the first few days, and now my body has slowed down. I decided that I can not weigh myself until next Wednesday. I'm allowing my fluctuating body to dictate my self worth. So look for an update in about a week, and we'll see how behaving is treating me.
